Can't update BIOS

[crazysteve240]

I am trying to update my BIOS from version 0207 to 0601 and I am getting this error: "ROM ID is incompatible with existing BIOS!". I am using Asus EZ flash 2 on a FAT32 usb drive. Any suggestions?

 

Specs:

 

Asus P5QL-VM EPU motherboard

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200

2 x 2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM, 2 x 1GB DDR2 Nvidia SLI RAM

AMD Radeon HD 7870 Video Card

Hyper 212 LED Heatsink

Thermaltake TR2 600W Power Supply

WD 500GB HDD

Seagate 200GB HDD

Super Talent 64GB SSD

Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)

Why are you trying to do that?

Try Asus's EZ Update if it's for your MoBo or Intenet flash

My motherboard doesn't have any AI Overclock Tuner settings at the moment, so I am thinking that if I update my BIOS I will get them. 

 

For other reasons, I will be trying to put a 5000 series Xeon in the motherboard with the LGA 771 to 775 mod so I will have to flash the BIOS anyway to add the microcodes.

I think my motherboard is too old for Asus EZ Update.

 

Isn't Internet flash only for Asrock motherboards?

I am accessing EZ flash 2 from the BIOS, I have done it on another ASUS P5Q SE motherboard and I was able to flash a new BIOS no problem.
